I sometimes hear people saying sth like:I been missing you crazy.
I sometimes hear people saying something like:I been missing you crazy;You been waiting it,huh?
I want to know what kind of english is that, is that even formal? It is not possible to use Past Participle directly after a subject,right?
If it is really not formal, is it the mutation of the Past Perfect tense?
Besides, I would also like to ask another thing that is not related to the topic:
I heard some people say(should i use said in here?) this: he got killed by the hunter.(the "killed" must be Past Participle,right?; It this the informal form of saying "he has been killed by the hunter."?)
Million Thanks.

Hello,
The structure "I been...." is found mostly in spoken language. Sometimes we omit the auxiliary ver of the preent perfect continuous "Have" but this is a sign of very informal spoken language. When writing or during a job interview you better stick to the the correct structure "I have been...." or "I've been....". I myself use I been a lot...like:
I been thinking about tha
